Thanks so much Vicky. I love palm trees so much but I have hundreds and hundreds of pictures of them when I mss them too much. The mountains here are spectacular!

Thans for the challenge, Vicky. I was inspired by your challenge to thin of a time when we moved outside of our comfort zone to try something new.

I was inspired by Vicky's challenge "to think about a time when you moved out of your comfort zone to try something new". It was such a time for me when we started talking about relocating from Florida to the middle of the country. Journaling reads: "I loved living in Florida. I loved the palm...

Oh Char, you just gave my goosebumps. First of all the Standing O is so well deserved and it was my honor to give it to you. You have been such a big part of our challenges, and we have so much in common with "our older men". You have supported me in my Grief Journaling and Im so humbled by...

Oh Chris, what a beautiful page you've created for this week's challenge. Those beautiful elements just leap off that perfect white background. I'm so thrilled that you were inspired by some of my words.

Oh Chris this is just gorgeous! I love the white background. It makes everything else pop right off the page. I'm SO thrilled that you were ispred by the words that I posted in my challenge intro. The work RISK is so profound and the more we delve into it, the more profound it becomes.

Ohhhhh thank you so muhch, Tracy. That stance was one of fear, yet lots of courage on my part. I'm not sure, if it hadn't been for Ava, I couldhave pulledthis off. She had so much faith in me and I just couldn't let her down. It was definitely worth the risk.

Oh my goodness, Tracy what a wonderful story of your dad's salvation. Through all of our conversations, I feel like I know him. What a wonderful tribute to him and to your faith.This is absolutely gorgeous. Thans so much for sharing this story.

Oh my goodness, it's beautiful, Tracy!! Not too dark at all! It has to be REALLY dark for me to ever think that. On my way to the gallery right now.

Thank you so much!

Oh, Char, thanks so much for your heartfelt words. It was a magical night, indeed, and there was a "spark" that very first night. We were definitely meant to be. I finally have a picture of that first night.

What a beautiful and heartfelt page, Vicky. Thanks for your participation.

Beautiful page, Vicky, with such heartfelt journaling. I'm sure you were a wonderful mother.
